34-42 80th Street #22

Classic prewar elegance meets comfortable, move-in-ready living at this exceptional 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment at Elm Court. Set on the second floor of this distinguished elevator co-op, the apartment enjoys beautiful garden views, three exposures, a gracious layout, and a rare feature: the elevators open directly to your private entrance. Inside, timeless prewar details set the tone, including original parquet hardwood floors, soaring 9-foot ceilings, and crown molding throughout. The generously proportioned living room is anchored by a working gas fireplace, with two oversized east-facing windows bringing in morning light. The living room flows naturally into a formal dining room, an inviting space for entertaining with an oversized garden-facing window. Adjacent to the dining room, the renovated, windowed kitchen is both functional and welcoming. A swinging door offers the option of separating the spaces, while ample counter space, warm wood cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, make this a well-appointed place to cook. The two bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned on opposite sides of the apartment, offering privacy and flexibility. The first is accessed through elegant French doors off the dining room and features two walls of windows overlooking the gardens, with southern and western exposures. An en-suite bathroom with a platform sink and shower completes this comfortable retreat. The second bedroom is located down the hall from the living room. With east-facing windows, generous proportions to accommodate a king-sized bed and additional furniture, and a large closet, it is an equally inviting space. A second renovated bathroom is conveniently located nearby, featuring an oversized vanity with abundant storage, polished chrome fixtures, and a glass-enclosed shower. Elm Court is part of the celebrated Jackson Heights Garden District. This collection of landmarked neo-Georgian buildings were designed by architect George H. Wells and built in 1922. Each of the 8 buildings operates as its own coop, with all residences overlooking a tranquil, block-long interior garden. 34-42 80th Street is an intimate 8-unit cooperative offering a number of amenities, including on-site laundry with brand-new washers and dryers, an updated electric system with rooftop solar panels, a live-in superintendent, and a private storage space in the basement for each apartment. Cats and dogs under 22 pounds are permitted; sorry, no subletting.
